GREETINGS FROM BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MUSIC CHORAL STUDIES
I am thrilled to welcome you to this special collaborative concert and residency between Boston University School of Music and the world renowned American Spiritual Ensemble. Special thanks to Dean Harvey Young at the Boston University College of Fine Arts, the Greater Boston Choral Consortium, and Emmanuel Music for making this event possible through financial and logistical support.
Tonight, we celebrate the rich tradition of the African American spiritual, bringing musicians of all ages and from all corners of Boston together, in a community musical celebration. I am elated to welcome guest choruses from the Handel and Haydn Society, Boston Children’s Chorus, and Boston Arts Academy as we explore the rich tapestry of choral singing in Boston and reaffirm relationships built through music and music education.
I am honored to share this space with my colleagues, friends, and fellow educators. Through this performance, we aim to honor the resilience, artistry, storytelling, joy, and sorrow inherent in spirituals, while also highlighting the incredible talent and dedication of our musicians and our community. Thank you for joining us and being a part of this unforgettable evening.

ENSEMBLES
AMERICAN SPIRITUAL ENSEMBLE
The American Spiritual Ensemble was founded in 1995 in order to maintain and honor the music pioneered by enslaved African people. ASE is a critically-acclaimed ensemble that is dedicated to performing provocative, dynamic concerts around the world celebrating the American negro spiritual. Additionally, ASE frequently visits educational institutions in order to teach students about the history and traditions of enslaved people in America and their spirituals. ASE also presents master classes, television performances, radio performance, and interviews on the music of the American negro slave. The mission of the American Spiritual Ensemble is to preserve and continue the tradition of storytelling through the performance and preservation of the American negro spiritual. Performing these spirituals serves as a tribute to the many lives lost or destroyed during slavery in the United States; a horrible time for human kind. These songs, a combination of African, American, and European traditions, create a new type of melody in which a sense of identification was created within the enslaved community. These songs now stand as a testament of the strength found through faith during times of hardship as well as a unifying force among all peoples. These songs are beloved all around the world.

Boston Children’s Chorus (BCC) was founded in 2003 by Hubie Jones, a civic leader who has worked for six decades to address the social problems facing Boston’s underserved children and communities. Named Boston’s “Ambassadors of Harmony” by The Boston Globe, BCC harnesses the power of music to connect Boston’s diverse communities, cultivate empathy, and inspire social inquiry. BCC after-school choral programs include 10 choirs with singers from 110 different zip codes in and around Boston. BCC is also proud to partner with schools to provide in-school choral education in Mattapan, Roxbury, South Boston, East Boston, Allston and the city of Chelsea.

They have performed in venues from Boston Symphony Hall, and Royal Albert Hall in London, to Sydney Opera House, and the White House.
BCC is supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and in part by a grant from the Boston Cultural Council, a local agency which is funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, administered by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.

HANDEL AND HAYDN SOCIETY YOUTH CHORUSES - CHAMBER CHOIR
The H+H Youth Choruses is a collaborative community where singers aged 7–18 hone their craft, express their creativity, and make unforgettable memories alongside forever friends. Over its 30 years, HHYC has grown from a handful of dedicated young people to seven choruses welcoming more than 150 singers each semester. Through large- and small-group instruction, weekly musicianship classes, collaborations with leading professional ensembles, and international tours (including the 2024 HHYC tour throughout Austria), world-class faculty partner with these young artists to create a rigorous yet welcoming environment for musical and personal growth—a chance for everyone to find their voice. Singers also treat H+H audiences to inspiring (and impressive) performances onstage at Symphony Hall and NEC’s Jordan Hall—often joined by the H+H Orchestra and Chorus—throughout each subscription season, sharing their passion for the living tradition of choral music with all of us.
The H+H Youth Choruses are a component of the Karen S. and George D. Levy Education Program.
